Temple Sinai - A Reform Congregation Nurturing Souls for a Fuller Jewish life

As a Reform congregation, we are affiliated with the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism). We practice and cherish our liberal Jewish tradition in accordance with contemporary and changing needs. We express ourselves through the customs and ceremonies of our religion which have been handed down to us from the past, as well as through new rituals and practices. Our partners establish their own individual commitment to Jewish observance, encouraged and supported by the synagogue and congregation.

Our partners embraces the full community spectrum from the youngest children to those in their senior years, singles and couples. Our partners live in Northern Dade and Southern Broward counties, but were born in all parts of the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. People from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds feel at home as we celebrate our sense of community in joy and sorrow.

Our goal as a Synagogue is threefold...

• Create meaningful religious experiences and a sense of Jewish community.

• Work for the perpetuation of Judaism and the growth of the Jewish people in the U.S., in Israel and any place Jews dwell.

• Reinforce the Jewish value system in order to create a better society.

In 1956, a few families came together and dreamed about a congregation of educated, spiritual Jews; an educational, spiritual, and social program that would support their Judaism; beautiful buildings in which to gather; and the staff to lead them at an uncompromising level of excellence and service. They dreamed of a religious center for the North Dade Jewish community. Through the constant support, both moral and financial, of dedicated and committed congregants, that dream became a reality, and the reality surpassed our hopes.

After 50 years, that dream remains alive in the faces, hearts, and hands of our congregants. Our ongoing hope is that Temple Sinai will continue to be a center of Jewish life and learning, and that you will share the joys of Judaism with us through your involvement.
